We recommend adding some information to your website to introduce Hero Health to your patients.
When you start using Hero, we recommend adding some content to your website to introduce Hero. This is because whilst all of our patient-facing pages are branded and use your branding colours, occasionally our name will be visible in the weblinks that are sent to patients for messaging, or the links used for booking or care navigation. You're welcome to use the text below, or write your own content.
